Ahead of Bellator 198 in Chicago, The Telegraph of London reported that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) showed up at the hotel where Fedor Emelianenko was staying. The agents requested to see the legendary fighter and “knocked on his room” before questioning him briefly. Emelianenko, who was scheduled to face Frank Mir in the opening round of the promotion’s HeavyweightGrand Prix tournament, obliged.

While Emelianenko’s manager, Jerry Millen, declined to reveal the conversation that took place between his client and the agents, he explained to the Associated Press that “the FBI came to the hotel looking to talk to Fedor and they were very nice, came in to speak with Fedor for a few minutes, spoke to me, very cool guys, and that’s all I can really say about it.”

Now several months removed from the incident, Emelianenko revealed the details of his conversation with the FBI agents, as well as the offer they made him at the time....

All I can think of is that they either just want their hands on Fedor's private papers, contracts, etc. or else if his contracted fight fell through maybe they thought they could manipulate someone by giving him work visa troubles...but those aren't particularly nice or creative thoughts. Idk.

Fedor: "I still don't know"

Sane America: "Neither do we"

Maybe they thought Fedor had possession of the piss tapes?

MAYBE they used the Trump/Cohen connection to hang out with Fedor for a few minutes, for no other reason than to hang out with Fedor for a few minutes.

*like, let us know if your fight falls through, so we can hang out some more

The FBI paid for agents to hang with Fedor and go to fights. What a fucking joke. Just like the undercover year long stings at prostitution houses.

That was my thought as well

But I have an unsuspicious mind and am easily diver-
